Sorry, this is a question. I think that's a 2014 number, but -- well, now I'm talking about a confidential document and trying to get clarification on it in a public sitting as we vote, which we're not allowed to do according to our rules. Thank you.

Thank you, Madam Chair. If someone over there, who knew, would just tell me the price of the estimated building the Taltson Hydro Expansion Project, I would vote for this capital budget. I've been asking for four years. This House has approved tens of millions of dollars on that project never knowing how much it's going to cost. I think it's embarrassing for all of us that we're doing this. So one number, and I'll vote in favour of this. I don't even care if I like the project; I just want the number. Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Chair. I won't try to answer that. Maybe I will. I think what the Minister said is that if this bill is passed and the date is not met, then you are all of a sudden under a new Act requiring regulation but they don't have regulation, so then you're just in this no-man's-land. But anyway, it had nothing to do with the specific motion or my understanding the whole bill as a whole.

My only comment was going to be, you know the GNWT is full of action plans and commitments to finish regulatory work and then we blow by them, and we don't get them done. We all know there's limited capacity in policy shops to get work done. I'm actually pretty hesitant for the legislature to start prescribing dates in regulation to complete work. You know, I don't think we've done it anywhere else, and I'm not sure I would even start with the Hygienist Profession Statutes Amendment Act. There's probably a lot of bills I think need regulatory work done. But, you know, I think -- why not give it a shot, Mr. Chair. We've missed a lot of timelines, and the Member has shown that this has been an action plan for years and missed timelines. And, you know, if the department's sitting here in 2025 and isn't going to make it well, then the next Minister of health's problem is to bring a motion to amend the legislation, I guess. So thank you. I'll vote for it. Thank you.

No further questions. Thank you, Mr. Chair.

Yeah, thank you. This somewhat gets to the very confusing nature of Private Member's bills where, you know, it's your bill but the committee has it but it's actually above the department.

Can the Member just inform me whether she had any discussions with the department or the Minister about this date? Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Chair. I have a question for the witness. Clause 1 is the one that requires this Act to be effective December 1st, 2025. I heard a lot of talk about, you know, the importance of dental work, and the Minister agreed there's work to be done with Indigenous Service Canada. No one's disputing that. Can I just get the Member to speak a bit more how we landed on December 1st, 2025. The conversations she had with committee in accepting the committee's motion to amend this and then any conversations she had with the department about this date. I'm just kind of wanting to get a sense of who all agrees that December 1st, 2025, is the date that this needs to be done by. Thank you, Mr. Chair.

That's good.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. In my four years to get the DMV to change their operating hours, I actually went backwards. It was closed for most of COVID, and it was closed for evacuation, and then they went to online booking only, and then they actually limited their hours and closed during lunch hours, and it's become harder and harder to use the DMV despite four years of asking. So one last time, will the Minister of Infrastructure try and buck this trend and look to open the DMV either on an evening or a weekend? Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
